City-centre burger joint off Preislers Plads

Backyardburger Viborg sits on Preislers Plads, a small square just behind the main pedestrian streets in Viborg’s historic centre. The restaurant occupies ground-floor space in a low-rise building, with big windows looking out towards the courtyard-like plaza. You are very much in the middle of town here, surrounded by shops and everyday city life, yet slightly tucked away from the busiest thoroughfares. The location makes it an easy stop during a day exploring Viborg’s cathedral quarter and nearby streets. From the square, you step straight into a warm, informal interior where the counter, open kitchen and seating are all within view, giving it the feel of a compact urban diner.

Menu built around burgers and simple sides

Backyardburger’s menu is deliberately narrow, centring on burgers, fries and classic fast-casual extras. Expect several variations on beef burgers made with fresh minced veal-and-beef patties, alongside at least one crispy chicken option and vegetarian-friendly sides. Combos typically bundle a burger with fries and a canned soft drink, with prices in the mid-range for a Danish city burger bar. Fries are a key part of the experience, usually served hot and generously portioned, and you can add dips or upgrade to larger sizes. Drinks focus on sodas and bottled water, with a few simple alternatives rather than an extensive beverage list. The overall approach is straightforward: a few well-executed staples rather than a sprawling card.

Casual atmosphere and relaxed seating

Inside, the restaurant leans into a pared-back, slightly rustic-modern look: wooden or laminate tables, simple chairs and benches, and industrial-style touches such as exposed finishes or metal details. Lighting is warm rather than harsh, making it comfortable for lingering over a late lunch or early evening meal. The open view towards the kitchen adds a bit of energy, with the sound of sizzling patties and the clatter of baskets from the fryer. Seating is informal, with small tables that can be pushed together for families or groups, and a few spots better suited to solo diners watching the room.

Takeaway focus with dine-in convenience

While there is space to sit, Backyardburger Viborg is also geared strongly towards takeaway. The counter service format and compact interior mean orders move quite quickly, and it is common for people to collect food to eat in nearby public spaces or at home. Online ordering and local delivery platforms are integrated into daily operations, so there is a steady flow of pickup bags alongside dine-in trays. For travellers, this makes the restaurant a flexible option. You can eat in when the weather is cold or wet, or simply grab a bag of burgers and fries to enjoy on a bench elsewhere in town or back at your accommodation.

Opening hours and mealtime rhythm

Backyardburger Viborg opens around midday and trades through the afternoon into the evening, aligning with typical Danish lunch and dinner hours. Most days it serves from 11:00 until 20:00, with a slightly later closing time around 21:00 on Friday and Saturday. This makes it a practical choice for an early dinner before an evening walk, or a relaxed, unhurried lunch when shops are open. The busiest times tend to cluster around 12:00–13:00 and the early evening window when locals finish work. Outside these peaks, the atmosphere is quieter and more spacious, especially on weekdays.

Neighbourhood context and nearby highlights

Being just a short walk from Viborg Domkirke and the surrounding historic streets, the restaurant slots easily into a broader day of sightseeing. You can combine a visit with time at the cathedral, lakeside walks around Søndersø or Nørresø, or shopping in the compact centre. When the weather turns, the indoor seating and predictable opening hours provide a handy fallback in a central, familiar spot. Overall, Backyardburger Viborg offers a straightforward promise: solid burgers, uncomplicated sides and a relaxed setting right in the heart of Viborg, without formality or fuss.
